3.0 out of 5 stars
Basic Ambient, July 12, 2006
This review is from: Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle (Audio CD)
I'm not going to waste your time here.
This album has no 'boops' or 'beeps', no 808 snare hits.
Do you like Brian Eno's 'Another Green World'? Tangerine Dream 'Phaedra'? Harold Budd? Woob?....this album is nowhere near as good as any of those artists or releases.
Maybe A little too dependant on some of the 'New-Age' trappings (birds, crickets and waves ---yawn) a little heavy handed in it's instrumentation (could use at least some 'break-downs' and 'builds' to create at least a little tension) and frankly a little derivative (more similar to mid 80's subliminal 'self-help' cassettes than any mid 70's Eno.)
BUT, it's a nice little slice of ambient, and not enough stuff like this is being produced by 'New Wave' artists....I still miss Vinces original Beeps and Boops with Depeche Mode, though.
